 Henrik,

After a short test, the problem remains, but what i do see is that when
i put the --no-ares option,the following row in bbtest goes up ...

DNS lookups completed                    1106554182.581252
30.254821


Cheers,

Wim

There is some sort of problem with your DNS lookups, causing them to
timeout. Check if your /etc/resolv.conf points at the correct DNS
servers and that they actually do respond to lookups - e.g. pick some of
the hostnames from your bb-hosts file and try to run a "nslookup HOST"
on them.

I have one report that the ARES library used by bbtest-net does not work
properly with some DNS servers. So you could try adding the "--no-ares"
option to the bbtest-net command in hobbitlaunch.cfg.
If that makes the problem go away, I'd like to know a bit more about
your DNS server setup - like what kind of DNS servers are you querying?

Henrik
